Business Outlook

Pros

They always seem to be hiring which is a plus for a lot of people. Depending on which team you're on the work isn't awful. There is job stability if you're on the right team and if the right people in management like you.

Cons

Depending on who your upper management is or which pharmaceutical company you're actually working for it can make your life pretty unbearable. At the beginning of the year they hire a massive amount of temporary employees but most don't know what they're doing and it causes those of us who work here normally to have to double our work to assist with the newer employees or totally redo what they've already done.
